    I’m glad your job is secure for now and that the little changes you’ve made to your diet are paying off. PADs are awesome as always 🙂

    I love poppies. We have a drive full of pansies. They self seeded from winter hanging baskets. I won’t weed the gravel while the flowers are so prolific and beautiful.

    I love the self seeding, our primroses have self seeded as well, we have a nice patch by the shed!

    It's a lovely sunny day again today and hayfever is a delight! 🤧  Gutted I missed the Northern Lights last night, I didn't think it would be visible with all the lights around here, but my fb feed is full of photos!

    I've cut little jwil's hair this morning, and given little miss a trim.  I'll do DH's in a bit, and he'll do mine.  All glam in this house :D 

    I suggested doing a tip run to clear the shed a bit as I want to sell the kids trampoline.  He's pulled out the trampoline and dumped it on the patio where I wanted to carry on weeding today 🙄.  I didn't want it out, I wanted access to it!  He's taking his bike out today, so I might drag it out to the driveway to clean and photo it.  It would be nice to see the back of it.

    How annoying. I’m sure they mistake the brief on purpose to do the most convenient thing for themselves and can then be outraged (because they helped) if challenged 😅

    Im a fan of wildflower garden neglect actually. You would probably win an eco award at Chelsea.
    I also missed Northern Lights and equally gutted.
    Hoping the newly groomed Jwil family have a lovely weekend
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

    I swear sometimes his whole purpose in life is to make mine more difficult :D:D

    Me too, I much prefer it to groomed and sterile.  It's always quite fun seeing what comes up everywhere.   Sorry you missed the northern lights as well.

    I've done a bit in the garden this morning.  It's quite hot and muggy so interspersed with breaks indoors.

    I took down our old cold callers sign yesterday evening as it was completely faded, and haven't put the new one up as I've been trying to remove the tape marks from the door.  We've had two cold callers already! One last night and one this morning. Does my head in.  I'll be putting the sign back again asap.  It doesn't stop them all, but I'd forgotten how bad it is around here.
